[philmont] Trek 9 just retruned.

Thanks,
 
The new trail is well marked as additional post indicate. If you are
leaving Copper park and going up the switchbacks once at the top the trail is to
your left. It is marked with rock caroms. It is somewhat steep until you
get to the top of the ridge then it follows the ridge line to Baldy. Great
views. I really enjoyed the option vs the old trail that is directly up the
face of Baldy.
 
If you are coming from Greenwood Canyon it is on your right at the low gap
before you proceed down to Copper Park. There are 17 switchbacks from the
Gap down to Copper Park. The old trail is blocked off and not to be used.
 
We left Copper Park at 7:00 a.m., stopped and had breakfast at the gap and
then proceeded to Baldy. We arrived on top by 10:00 a.m. Estimated time you
should allow is 2.5 to 3 hours.
